Olympic Primary's netball stars shine, but road to national's needs backing

CHEERS rang out and arms shot skyward in celebration as Olympic Primary School's Under-13 netball team sealed a dominant 15-4 victory over Grootdrink Primary in the Frances Baard Primary School League final in Upington.

The win went beyond earning them a tournament title, because the win earned the talented team the right to represent the province on the national stage.

Now the challenge for the team is getting there.

Olympic Primary's Under-13s will fly the Northern Cape flag at the national play-offs in Polokwane from July 24 to 26.

But before they take to the courts, they'll need support from the community to cover travel and accommodation costs.
